At 12:35 p.m., the second ten-man squad of the Japanese army appeared on the mountain beam of Sheren Pass. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At 13:10 p.m., the third Japanese detachment also appeared on the top of Sherenguan Mountain.

However, this group of sentry posts did not go down the mountain beam, but stood guard at the Sheren Pass.

"They're guarding the passage of the big army behind."

He Changying ordered: "In the following time, except for the sentry on the top of the mountain, all the soldiers are hiding in the blind corner of the line of sight in the direction of Sheren Pass, and no one can move without permission until there is a new order!" And Kaiyu, before the large force of the Japanese army reaches the post road below, the three of you are also hidden and forbidden to move. ”

Xiong Kaiyu bent back to his hiding place, a large thick, low-leaved bush, and pointed his binoculars in the direction of Sherenguan.

Soon, the Japanese troops of the brigade appeared at the top of Sherenguan Peak, lined up in a long marching line, and marched along the mountain beam.

"Yo Xi, it's finally time to give up the people!"

The 9th Mixed Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, the captain of the 1st Brigade of the 11th Infantry Wing of the 11th Infantry Brigade of Hiroshima Zhentai, Ichito Shosa, stood on a huge cliff flying rock at the top of the Sheren Pass with great ambition, blowing the mighty mountain wind, and the mood was incomparably beautiful.

"These Qing troops are not only not worth mentioning in terms of combat power, but they are also as timid as rats and as stupid as pigs!"

Deputy Captain Nozawa Eisaku Shaozo held a telescope and looked at the reckless mountains north of Sheren Pass: "In such a dangerous place, the Qing army actually didn't set up troops to defend, I can't believe it!" ”

"They are all nested in Pyongyang; Isn't Nie Shicheng, who is in Cheng Huan, known as the most elite army in the Qing Kingdom? It's just a little contact with our army, and it occupies a powerful terrain, and it actually escapes! ”

Ichito Guard Shaozo said confidently: "What kind of combat power can a soulless, decaying and depraved old-style army have; Although this surrender is dangerous, how can a group of Qing troops who are greedy for life and afraid of death have the courage to stop the imperial army here? ”

"Report!"

At this time, a Japanese soldier Cao hurriedly walked over.

A household guard nodded and motioned for the military to report.

"Report to the captain, the first detachment has entered the 'Nine Mile Valley', and the second detachment is entering the first line of the sky under the beam, and there is no suspicious situation along the way."

A family guard raised his binoculars and looked at the first line of heaven below Sheren Pass and the 'Nine Mile Valley' held by two mountains.

"Command!"

"Smack!"

A group of squadron leaders gathered around a family of guards stood upright.

"Minoru Nagamachida."

"Hey!"

The leader of the second squadron, Captain Minoru Nagamachida, stepped forward with his head held high and stood straight.

"Your second squadron is the front, divided into four routes, two ways to climb the first line of heaven and two mountains, and search north; After the other two roads passed through the first-line Tianyi Road, they set up a temporary defensive position at the exit of the 'Jiuli Valley' all the way, searched all the way along both sides of the 'Jiuli Valley', and established a temporary defensive position at the post road crossing on the slope of Wuli Mountain. ”

"Hey!"

"All the rest of the army are assembled at the entrance of the first line of heaven at the bottom of the mountain."

"Hey!"

All the soldiers roared.

When his subordinates dispersed, Deputy Captain Nozawa Eisaku said contemplatively:

"Captain, after the guide said that after this line of heaven and the 'Nine Mile Valley', it is a five-mile-long mountain gentle slope, and then a three-mile-long one-line heavenly canyon; this morning, the first and third squadrons took turns to climb the heights and guard, and they were already tired and exhausted; are they camping in the 'Nine Mile Valley' tonight?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be no Qing army activities in the entire Huangzhou County now, but military matters must not be careless;"

A family guard looked at the peaks below the mountain and said, "It's only 1:30 at noon, and the brigade can assemble at the south entrance of the first line at 3:30; It takes about half past four to arrive at the 'Nine Mile Valley' on the first day, and you can arrive at the north exit of the 'Nine Mile Valley' at five thirty. ”

"Then he will continue to march without stopping, and arrive at the entrance of the first line of heaven at the north entrance to rest, and the third squadron will deploy the mountains on both sides of the first line of heaven and the north exit; Then the troops can enter the first line of heaven at 7:30 and leave the Beishan Pass before 8 o'clock at night, then this Dongxian Ridge is considered to be over today, and we can march to Huangzhou City tomorrow morning; Otherwise, tomorrow will have to be delayed for at least half a day. ”

"Didn't you search for the top of the mountain in advance of the five-mile steep slope? When they got out of the 'Nine Mile Valley', the physical strength of the sergeants was almost at the limit, in case there was an ambush. ”

Nozawa Eisaku looked at a family of guards strangely, thinking to himself, didn't you just say that 'military affairs must not be careless'?

"There can be no ambush! Nozawa-kun, even now I can order the troops not to conduct any patrols along the way, and there is no problem with marching directly! ”

A household guard said confidently: "In the Battle of Asan, we faced Ye Zhichao, the first-class admiral of the Qing State, and Nozawa-kun also saw the incompetence of the Qing army with his own eyes; In this barren mountain range, no Qing army will work hard to set up an ambush here! ”

"The reason why I asked the 4th Squadron to search the first line of heaven is not for today, but to train the soldiers to develop a rigorous atmosphere in peacetime; But it's not like all layers are unlaxative! ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the first outpost of the Japanese army finally walked out of the 'Nine Mile Valley' and came to the five-mile slope.

The horses' hooves 'clanged', breaking through the tranquility of the valley, mixed with the sound of Japanese soldiers frolicking, and reaching the top of the mountain.

Some mountain birds, startled by the sound of hooves and frolicking, flew into the air.

Here it comes!

At this moment, all the Chinese sergeants who were ambushed on the top of the mountain had their hearts contracted violently.

Xiong Kaiyu, platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon of the Korean Aid Army, Liu Mingyang, deputy platoon commander, and Shi Dazhu, a soldier, looked excitedly at the ten Japanese cavalrymen who were marching on the mountainside below through the dense bushes, and a local Korean interpreter.

The Japanese soldiers were all white-faced and beardless, and only the leader of the army, Cao Cao, had a two-headed mustache on his mouth.

Yishui was wearing a black shirt and white pants, straw sandals on his feet, a black high-topped round military hat on his head, and a Murata rifle on his back.

This group of Japanese soldiers rode on their horses, completely unguarded, and they swaggered all the way, talking and laughing in their mouths, looking at the situation where there was a little bit of the appearance of an advance reconnaissance detachment.

Although He Changying forbade the soldiers to act without authorization, he finally couldn't resist the temptation in his heart and crawled over from the back slope of the mountaintop.

Shen Zhaoao, who was beside He Changying, endured it, couldn't hold back, and crawled over.

Seeing the outfits of this group of soldiers, He Changying was slightly stunned, only to know that the military uniforms of the Japanese army at this time were completely different from the khaki uniforms of World War II.

At about 3:40, the second patrol detachment of the Japanese army crossed the 'Nine Mile Valley' and began to pass the large slope.

This team of Japanese soldiers also laughed all the way, and immediately there were chickens and ducks hanging on them, and at a glance they knew that they were robbing the poultry of the people in Fengshan County.

"it!"

He Changying scolded angrily, and couldn't help but regret it in his heart.

It seems that these Japanese troops won the battle in Chenghuan, and the journey to the north was smooth, so they became more and more arrogant.

If you knew that you would be ambushed on the front line, once you can successfully implement it, not only will you be able to deal a devastating blow to the first brigade of the Japanese army, but also the casualties on your own side are estimated to be extremely small.

Seeing this group of Japanese soldiers go away, Shen Zhaoao whispered in disbelief: "Just this military discipline, and beat Ye Nie's two armies to the point of losing their armor?" ”

"It's not that the Japanese army is strong, it's that the training army is too weak."

He Changying faintly concluded.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, about a group of more than 50 Japanese infantry arrived at the north pass of the 'Nine Mile Valley', and immediately set up a temporary defensive ring at the border of the large slope.

"So careful?"

He Changying's heart jumped, if the Japanese army sent a team of soldiers up the mountain to search, then all the previous arrangements would be in vain.

Moreover, Liu Guangyan's sentry cavalry may even be blocked at the end of the 'Nine Mile Valley', facing the danger of being completely annihilated!

It's ridiculous that I just thought that the Japanese army's military discipline was not good, and I wanted to set up an ambush on the front line of the sky under Sheren's pass?

On the battlefield, everything is really changing!

For a while, a cold sweat broke out on He Changying's face.
